LETTER  OF  STATE,  SUPERINTENDENT. 


State  of  North  Carolina, 
Department  of  Public  Instruction, 
Raleigh,  N.  C.,  January  28,  1905. 

To  His  Excellency,  Robert  B.  Glenn, 

Governor  of  North  Carolina. 

Dear  Sir  : — In  accordance  with  section  70  of  the  Public  School 
Law,  I  transmit  to  you  a  copy  of  the  report  of  the  State  Board  of 
Examiners,  for  your  information  and  that  of  the  General  Assembly. 
The  report  of  the  Superintendent  of  the  Colored  Normal  Schools  is 
also  attached.  Very  respectfully, 

J.  Y.  Joyner, 
Ex  officio  Chairman  State  Board  of  Examiners. 


REPORT  OF  STATE  BOARD  OF  EXAMINERS. 


Raleigh,  N.  C,  January  28,  1905. 
Hon.  J.  Y.  Joyner, 

State  Superintendent  of  Public  Instruction. 

Dear  Sir  : — In  compliance  with  the  Public  School  Law,  section  70, 
we  beg  leave  to  make  this  our  report  of  the  management  of  the  State 
Normal  Schools  for  the  Colored  Race  in  North  Carolina. 

During  the  past  two  years  the  board  has  visited  and  carefully  in- 
spected the  Colored  Normal  Schools  situated  at  Elizabeth  City,  Ply- 
mouth, Goldsboro,  Fayetteville,  Franklinton,  Winston,  and  Salisbury. 
We  thoroughly  examined  into  all  the  conditions  existing  at  each 
place — the  buildings,  equipment,  course  of  study,  methods  of  teach- 
ing, etc.,  and  became  fully  convinced  that  the  work  at  no  place-was 
justifying  the  outlay  of  money  that  the  State  was  making,  and  that 
the  best  interests  of  the  colored  people  would  be  advanced  by  the 
consolidation  of  the  seven  schools  into  not  more  than  four  stronger 
and  better  equipped  institutions. 

We,  therefore,  heartily  united  with  you  and  appeared  before  the 
State  Board  of  Education,  urging  that  the  consolidation  recom- 
mended be  put  into  effect.  The  State  Board  of  Education  thereupon 
abolished  the  schools  at  Plymouth,  Goldsboro,  and  Salisbury.  Upon 
further  recommendation  of  this  board,  the  schools  were  put  in  charge 
of  a  superintendent. 

Last  July  a  summer  school  of  three  weeks  was  held  at  Greens- 
boro, for  the  teachers  who  are  giving  instruction  in  the  normal 
schools.  This  was  done  in  compliance  with  the  law  governing  these 
normal  schools. 

Finally,  we  believe  that,  since  these  schools  have  been  put  in 
charge  of  a  competent  superintendent  who  can  give  them  the  time 
and  attention  necessary  for  their  careful  supervision,  there  is  no 
longer  any  need  for  a  continuance  of  the  State  Board  of  Examiners. 
We,  therefore,  recommend  that  our  board  be  abolished. 

Respectfully  submitted* 

M.  C.  S.  Noble, 
J.  I.  Foust, 
F.  L.  Stevens, 
State  Board  of  Examiners. 


SUPERINTENDENT'S  REPORT. 


LETTER. 

Raleigh,  N.  C.,  January  20,  1905. 

TO    SUPERINTENDENT    J.    Y.    JOYNER    AND    PROFS.    M.    C,     S.    NOBLE,    J.    I. 

Foust,  and  F.  L.  Stevens, 

State  Board  of  Examiners. 

Gentlemen  : — Complying  with  the  request  of  your  chairman,  State 
Superintendent  Joyner,  I  submit  a  report  of  the  past  and  present 
condition  of  the  State  Normal  Schools  for  the  negro  race,  together 
with  such  recommendations  as  I  think  should  be  adopted  in  order  to 
make  those  schools  worthy  the  name  they  bear  and  of  the  State  they 
represent. 

Very  respectfully, 

Charles  L.  Coon. 

A  BIT  OF  HISTORY. 

On  the  16th  day  of  April,  1873,  the  State  Board  of  Education 
adopted  a  resolution  requesting  the  friends  of  education  in  North 
Carolina  to  meet  in  convention  in  the  city  of  Raleigh  on  the  9th  day 
of  July,  1873,  for  the  purpose  of  considering  and  recommending  such 
measures  as  should  be  thought  advisable  for  the  promotion  of  educa- 
tion in  the  State.  The  State  Superintendent  of  Public  Instruction 
was  appointed  to  formulate  a  programme.  In  answer  to  this  call 
the  convention  was  held  in  the  hall  of  the  House  of  Representatives. 
Hon.  W.  H.  Battle1  was  chosen  president.  Papers  were  read  by  Rev. 
B.  Craven,  D.  D.,  of  Trinity  College;  Prof.  W.  C.  Doub,  of  Greens- 
boro Female  College ;  Major  Robert  Bingham,  of  Bingham  School ; 
Prof.  W.  G.  Simmons,  of  Wake  Forest  College ;  John  W.  Norwood, 
Esq.,  and  Prof.  A.  F.  Redd,  of  the  Baptist  Female  Seminary. 

This  convention  appointed  a  committee  on  resolutions,  of  which 
Hon.  A.  S.  Merrimon  was  chairman.  The  resolutions  reported  for 
adoption  recited  the  supreme  importance  of  education,  referred  to 
the  alarming  and  deplorable  general  educational  condition  of  the 
State,  and  called  on  every  true  son  of  North  Carolina  to  come  to  the 
relief  of  such  serious  difficulties  as  then  confronted  the  State.  The 
resolutions  also  urged  at  least  a  four  months'  school  term,  national 
aid  to  the  States  for  the  promotion  of  education,  and  finally  called  on 
the  press  and  the  clergy  and  every  friend  of  the  State  to  set  to  work 
"to  arouse  the  whole  people  to  a  realizing  sense  of  the  paramount 
importance  of  education."     Resolutions  were  also  adopted  looking  to 


6 


"the  revival  of  the  University,"  a  compulsory  school  law,  the  prepara- 
tion of  "a  practical  elementary  treatise  on  agriculture"  for  use  in 
the  common  schools,  for  "the  formation  of  a  State  Educational  Asso- 
ciation, and  for  the  establishment  of  normal  schools." 

The  Rev.  Dr.  Wingate  submitted  the  resolution  in  regard  to  normal 
schools  in  the  following  words :  • 

"That  in  view  of  the  low  standard  of  scholarship  in  the  public 
schools,  the  necessity  of  providing  well  qualified  teachers,  and  of  in- 
troducing the  most  approved  methods  of  instruction  into  the  public 
schools,  while  the  committee  recognize  the  financial  difficulties  which 
embarrass  the  subject,  they  earnestly  recommend  that  this  convention 
memorialize  the  General  Assembly  of  North  Carolina,  at  its  next 
session,  to  establish  one  or  more  normal  schools  at  such  town  or  city 
in  the  State  as  will  subscribe  the  largest  sum  to  aid  in  defraying  the 
expenses  of  establishing  and  maintaining  such  school  or  schools ;  and 
that  there  shall  be  connected  with  such  schools  primary  and  inter- 
mediate departments,  in  which  all  the  children  of  the  vicinity  shall 
be  admtted  and  instructed  free  of  charge." 

In  addition  to  the  persons  already  named  as  taking  part  in  this 
convention,  the  proceedings  show  that  Gen.  W.  R.  Cox,  Governor  Tod 
R.  Caldwell,  John  H.  Mills,  Thomas  M.  Argo,  Joseph  W.  Holden,  Rev. 
Dr.  Neil  McKay  ,and  many  others  prominent  in  all  walks  of  life  were 
active  participants  in  the  deliberations. 

This  bit  of  our  educational  history  is  referred  to  to  show  that  the 
leading  men  of  our  State  at  the  time  of  its  deepest  financial,  political 
and  educational  trials  recognized  the  necessity  for  normal  schools, 
and  gave  such  reasons  for  their  establishment  as  all  intelligent  people 
must  recognize  of  first  important  in  any  effective  system  of  public 
education. 

In  former  times  Archibald  D.  Murphy,  Joseph  Caldwell,  and  Cal- 
vin H.  Wiley  and  others  had  plead  for  the  establishment  of  normal 
schools  for  the  training  of  teachers  for  the  public  schools.  It  is 
significant  in  the  day  of  our  greatest  social  peril,  at  the  time  all  our 
State  institutions  were  in  chaos,  there  should  arise  new  leaders  tak- 
ing up  the  cause  of  popular  education  and  pleading  for  the  training 
of  teachers  for  the  children  with  as  much  fervor  as  Wiley  or  Caldwell 
had  ever  done.  > 

But  no  normal  schools  were  established  as  a  result  of  the  meeting 
in  1873.  But  teachers'  institutes,  aided  by  the  Peabody  Fund,  had 
begun  to  be  held  as  early  as  1872,  notably  those  at  Ellendale,  Alex- 
ander County ;  at  Pine  woods  and  Lexington,  Davidson  County ;  at 
Ashboro,  Randolph  County,  and  at  Wilmington.  All  these  institutes 
were  conducted  for  white  teachers.  In  1874  the  North  Carolina. 
Educational  Association  again  discussed  the  education  of  teachers 
and  resolved  to  conduct  an  educational  campaign  in  the  interest  of 
popular  education.     A  committee  was  appointed  to  suggest  improve- 


nients  in  the  public  school  law  and  appear  before  the  Legislature  in 
the  furtherance  of  its  suggestions. 

THE  BEGINNING. 

The  Legislature  of  187G-'77,  on  the  recommendation  of  Governor 
Vance  and  of  educational  associations  and  leading  citizens,  passed  a 
law  looking  to  the  training  of  teachers  for  the  public  schools.  This 
law  carried  an  appropriation  of  $4,000,  and  provided  that  $2,000  of  it 
should  be  spent  for  a  summer  normal  school  at  the  University  of 
North  Carolina,  and  that  $2,000  be  used  to  establish  a  normal  school 
for  the  teaching  and  training  of  young  men  of  the  colored  race  be- 
tween the  ages  of  fifteen  and  twenty-five.  The  law  left  it  to  the 
State  Board  of  Education  to  select  a  suitable  place  for  this  first  col- 
ored normal  school  and  to  provide  for  its  proper  conduct.  I  ask 
your  attention  to  a  brief  history  of  this  and  the  other  colored  normal 
schools  established  from  time  to  time  since  then. 

The  Fayetteville  Normal  School  was  begun  on  the  first  Monday  in 
September,  1877,  with  Robert  Harris  as  principal.  The  building  in 
which  the  school  was  conducted  did  not  belong  to  the  State,  nor  has 
the  State  ever  acquired  any  such  property  at  Fayetteville,  though 
it  has  been  twenty-eight  years  since  a  so-called  State  Normal  School 
was  opened  and  since  conducted  there.  A  local  board  of  managers, 
consisting  of  Messrs.  J.  H.  Myrover,  E.  J.  Lilly,  and  W.  C.  Troy,  was 
appointed  by  the  State  Board  of  Education,  an  arrangement  some- 
what similar  to  the  present  plan  of  management. 

This  first  normal  school  continued  for  a  term  of  eight  months. 
Students,  male  and  female,  between  the  ages  of  fifteen  and  twenty- 
five,  were  admitted  and  those  living  at  a  distance  were  refunded 
their  railroad  fare.  Books  and  tuition  were  furnished  free.  Appli- 
cants for  admission  were  required  "to  pass  a  good  examination  in 
easy  reading,  spelling,  writing  and  the  fundamental  rules  of  arith- 
metic," and  furnish  evidences  of  good  moral  character.  The  stand- 
ard set  twenty-eight  years  ago  for  admission  is  still  the  standard  for 
admission  to  the  colored  normal  schools  of  the  present  day !  That 
this  standard  cannot  now  be  raised  simply  shows  that  the  rural  negro 
public  school  of  to-day  is  doing  about  the  same  work  as  it  did  twenty- 
eight  years  ago. 

All  who  received  the  benefits  of  the  school  were  required  to  give  a 
pledge  to  teach  three  years  after  leaving.  The  course  of  study  pre- 
scribed by  the  State  Board  was  as  follows : 

"Junior  Class — First  Year. — Reading,  Articulation,  Spelling,  De- 
fining, Dictation,  Phonetics,  Elementary  Grammar,  Primary  Geogra- 
phy, Mental  and  Written  Arithmetic,  Writing,  Drawing,  Rudiments 
of  Music,  Theory  and  Practice  of  Teaching  and  Making  and  Keeping 
School  Register. 


8 


"Middle  Class — Second  Year. — United  States  History,  Advanced 
Geography,  Practical  Grammar,  Orthography  and  Etymology,  Mental 
and  Written  Arithmetic  completed,  Penmanship,  Map  Drawing,  Com- 
position, Spelling,  Vocal  Music,  School  Management  and  Discipline, 
Declamation. 

"Senior  Class — Third  Year. — Universal  History,  Physiology,  As- 
tronomy, Algebra,  Book-keeping,  Grammar  completed,  Analysis,  Arith- 
metic reviewed,  Geography  reviewed,  Spelling,  Dictation,  Composi- 
tion, Oratory,  Manners  and  Morals." 

Remembering  the  standard  for  entrance,  it  is  difficult  to  see  how 
such  a  course  could  have  been  successfully  taught  to  nearly  one  hun- 
dred normal  pupils  "in  a  house  75x35  feet,  two  stories  high,"  by  three 
teachers,  who  also  had  charge  of  "the  primary  and  grammar  schools 
held  in  the  same  building."  Yet  the  reports  of  that  first  year  seem 
to  leave  no  doubt  that  it  was  done ! 

The  real  difficulties  in  the  way  of  this  first  Normal  School  were  the 
following :  Attempting  to  have  a  normal  school  teaching,  the  theory 
and  practice  of  education  in  three  years,  beginning  where  the  present 
public  schools  call  their  fourth  or  fifth  grade ;  the  poverty  of  the 
pupils,  which  resulted  in  very  irregular  attendance ;  and,  finally,  the 
poor  equipment,  both  as  to  teachers,  library,  furniture  and  buildings. 
And  all  these  are  present-day  difficulties. 

By  authority  of  chapter  54,  Laws  of  1879,  a  "preparatory  depart- 
ment" was  provided  for  the  Fayetteville  school.  What  the  course  of 
study  of  that  department  was  can  easily  be  imagined  by  reference  to 
the  entrance  requirements  already  mentioned.  The  attendance  for 
1878-1879  was  95 ;  for  1879-1880  it  was  106,  more  than  half  of  whom 
were  in  the  preparatory  department. 

On  October  24,  1880,  Robert  Harris  died.  Fie  was  born  at  Fayette- 
ville, in  1839,  of  free  parents ;  he  was  educated  in  Cleveland,  Ohio,  to 
which  place  his  parents  had  moved  in  his  youth.  At  the  close  of  the 
Civil  War  Harris  came  to  Virginia  as  a  teacher  of  his  race,  and  later 
to  North  Carolina.  He  was  much  respected  by  everybody  and  seems 
to  have  had  the  good  of  his  race  much  at  heart.  He  was  succeeded 
at  Faj^etteville  by  his  assistant,  Charles  W.  Chesnutt,  whom  you  will 
doubtless  remember  as  the  author  of  a  number  of  well-known  books 
recently  issued,  among  them  "The  Conjure  Woman."  Mr.  Chesnutt 
continued  with  the  school  through  the  year  1882-'83,  when  he  was 
succeeded  by  E.  E.  Smith,  the  present  principal. 

From  the  principal's  report  for  1880-'81  I  find  that  eight  persons 
completed  the  course  of  the  Senior  Class,  ten  completed  the  Middle 
Class,  and  twenty  the  Junior.  The  principal  described  the  prepara- 
tory department  as  follows :  "The  Preparatory  Department  consisted 
partly  of  children,  who  are  admitted  at  twelve  years  of  age  and  up- 
wards, but  principally  of  teachers  and  older  pupils,  mostly  from  the 
country,  who  were  not  prepared  to  enter  the  Normal  Department. 


9 


During  this  session  the  Preparatory  Department  was  mainly  under 
the  instruction  of  the  normal  school  teachers,  experience  having 
taught  that  it  is  not  best  to  leave  the  recitations  entirely  in  the  hands 
of  normal  students." 

The  total  enrollment  of  the  school  for  1880-'81  was  109,  only  thirty- 
eight  of  whom  were  in  the  normal  school  proper.  It  was  also  said 
that  "the  present  accommodations  of  the  school  are  quite  limited,  and 
a  suitable  building  is  badly  needed."  I  make  these  quotations  from 
the  report  of  the  school  for  1880  and  1881  to  show  how  similar  were 
conditions  then  and  now.  No  suitable  buildings,  no  equipment  with 
which  to  work,  and  a  low  standard  of  scholarship  prevailing  every- 
where. 

FOUR  NEW  SCHOOLS. 

The  Legislature  of  1881  established  four  additional  normal  schools 
for  colored  teachers  and  four  for  white  teachers,  increasing  the 
annual  appropriation  for  normal  instruction  from  $4,000  to  .$8,000. 
The  white  normal  schools,  four  in  number,  were  located  by  the  State 
Board  of  Education  at  Elizabeth  City,  Wilson,  Newton  and  Franklin. 
The  University  Normal  School  was  continued.  These  five  normal 
schools  were  held  four  weeks  each,  and  were  each  in  charge  of  a 
superintendent  and  a  local  board  of  managers.  The  four  additional 
normal  schools  for  colored  teachers  were  organized  on  about  the  same 
plan  as  those  for  white  teachers,  except  that  the  State  Board  of  Edu- 
cation thought  they  should  continue  for  a  longer  time  than  four  weeks 
and  should  provide  for  "drill  in  the  public-school  studies  with 
methods  of  teaching,  school  organization  and  government."  The  first 
session  of  these  four  schools  continued  for  about  five  months  each. 
Salisbury  reported  49  students,  Plymouth  33  and  Franklinton  67  on 
the  opening  day ;  all  three  schools  opening  in  October,  1881.  The 
total  revenue  of  each  of  these  four  schools  for  the  year  1881-1882  was 
only  $705 ;  $500  being  derived  for  each  from  the  State  appropriation 
and  $205  from  the  Peabody  Fund.  This  small  revenue  was  only  suf- 
ficient to  employ  a  principal  and  one  or  two  assistants  at  small  sala- 
ries for  about  five  months.  The  school  at  Plymouth  opened  in  a 
house  with  "two  recitation-rooms,  each  25x15  feet,  and  a  studying 
and  entertaining  room  50x25  feet."  The  principal  of  the  Plymouth 
school,  A.  Hicks,  reported  that,  during  the  first  session,  the  school 
used  "Quackenbos'  History,  Davies'  and  Sanford's  Arithmetics,  Na- 
tional Readers,  Maury's  and  Mitchell's  Geographies,  Reed  and  Kel- 
logg's  and  Harvey's  Grammars,  Webster's  and  Worcester's  Dictiona- 
ries, National  Speller,  and  Payson's  Copy  Book."  It  was  said  that 
"one  day  in  every  week  was  devoted  to  general  exercises."  It  was 
also  reported  by  the  principal  that  "our  method  of  teaching  differed 
greatly  from  the  ordinary  way  of  imparting  instruction.  Students 
were  not  required  to  overtax  their  brain  by  committing  everything  as 


10' 


given  in  text-books,  but  were  trained  in  such  way  that  they  could 
very  easily  recite  a  lesson  by  using  their  own  composition.  Every 
lesson  that  could  be  placed  on  the  blackboards  was  recited  from 
them ;  consequently  everything  was  made  practical  and  a  greater 
progress  made."  The  enrollment  was  91  and  the  average  attendance 
41.  It  does  not  appear  that  the  students  were  divided  into  classes 
during  this  year,  but  at  New  Bern  some  attempt  at  classification 
appears  to  have  been  made,  under  the  principal,  George  H.  White. 
The  63  pupils  were  divided  into  Middle,  Junior,  Sub-Junior,  and  Un- 
classified. The  "unclassified  class  was  one  of  emergency,  being  com- 
posed of  pupils  who  came  in  late  in  the  term  and  were  unable  to  enter 
any  of  the  other  classes  proper.  They  were  taught  according  to  each 
one's  grade  of  scholarship."  This  school  had  a  library  of  98  volumes, 
some  maps  and  charts  and  a  rented  organ.  The  "current  expenses" 
for  the  first  year  were  $30.  The  Rev.  A.  A.  Scott  was  paid  $10  for 
ten  lectures  on  sacred  history,  and  $7.50  was  paid  for  the  closing 
exercises. 

The  first  session  of  the  Frauklinton  Normal  enrolled  65  pupils,  only 
eight  of  whom  were  teachers.  The  principal,  M.  A.  Hopkins,  ac- 
counted for  the  small  number  of  teachers  attending  by  saying  that 
"many  were  too  poor  to  attend,"  that  "many  were  too  proud  to  show 
their  ignorance,"  and  that  "many  were  too  wise  in  their  conceit  to 
attend." 

The  first  report  of  J.  O.  Crosby,  principal  of  the  Salisbury  Normal, 
says  "the  directors  found  no  easy  task  to  secure  a  suitable  house  in  a 
desirable  locality,  and  the  building  finally  selected  was  incommodi- 
ous." Mention  is  also  made  of  the  inability  of  many  candidates  for 
admission  to  comply  with  the  scholarship  requirements  and  the  great 
lack  of  equipment. 

During  the  year  1881-1882  the  New  Bern  school  added  natural  phil- 
osophy, physiology,  chemistry,  rhetoric,  and  book-keeping  to  the 
course  previously  taught.  The  public  school-house  of  that  town  was 
placed  at  the  disposal  of  the  normal  school.  The  building  was  said 
to  be  60x30  feet,  two  stories  high,  and  commodious  for  300  or  400 
pupils !     It  would  now  be  interesting  to  know  how  this  could  be. 

The  enrollment  of  the  Fayetteville  school  for  1882-'83  was  105,  only 
35  of  whom  were  classified  as  normal  students.  Two  pupils  were 
graduated.  Poverty  and  other  causes  seem  to  have  reduced  the  en- 
rollment in  the  senior  class  and  in  all  the  other  normal  classes.  Very 
few  students  were  then  financially  able  to  enter  the  first  normal 
class  and  remain  continuously  until  the  completion  of  the  course. 
This  condition  still  prevails.  Then  as  now  the  county  superintend- 
ents seem  to  have  had  very  low  standards  for  granting  certificates  to 
the  colored  teachers.  This  operated  then  and  operates  now  against 
the  normal  schools.  Not  many  will  attend  these  schools  when  they 
can  easily  obtain  a  certificate  to  teach  without  doing  so.     The  prin- 


11 


cipal  of  the  Salisbury  Normal  School  in  his  report  for  1882- '83,  after 
reciting  the  conditions  of  admission  to  be  the  ability  "to  read  and 
write  well  and  to  understand  the  fundamental  operations  of  arithme- 
tic and  the  rudiments  of  English  grammar,"  says  he  suspended  these 
requirements  as  to  four  pupils  out  of  an  enrollment  of  ninety-two 
and  an  average  attendance  of  thirty-eight.  The  three  years'  course 
of  study  was  reported  to  be  the  following : 

"Junior  Year. — Spelling  and  Defining,  Reading,  Writing,  Arithme- 
tic, Grammar,  Composition,  Geography,  Map-Drawing,  U.  S.  His- 
tory, Sounds  of  Marked  Letters.  Theory  and  Practice — Model  Class. 

"Middle  Year. — Reading,  Arithmetic  Complete,  Geography  Com- 
plete, TT.  S.  History  Complete,  N.  C.  History  Complete,  Grammar  and 
Analysis,  Spelling  and  Impromptu  Composition,  Algebra,  Physiology, 
Philosophy,  Theory  and  Practice — Model  Class. 

"Senior  Year. — Algebra,  Geometry,  General  History,  Drawing. 
Composition  and  Rhetoric,  Elementary  Chemistry,  Elocution,  Philoso- 
phy. Botany.  Book-keeping,  Essay,  Theory  and  Practice  from  Text- 
book." 

It  is  hardly  necessary  to  call  your  attention  again  to  the  practical 
impossibility  of  making  such  a  course  effective  in  three  years  with 
such  a  standard  of  admission  as  was  set,  to  say  nothing  of  utter 
lack  of  equipment  in  teachers,  library  and  apparatus  necessary  to 
give  such  pretentious  course.  But  somebody's  duty  it  was  to  have 
made  those  normal  courses  of  study  consistent,  and  adapted  to  then 
existing  conditions. 

During  the  year  1882-'83,  A.  Hicks,  the  principal  of  the  Plymouth 
Normal,  died,  and  was  succeeded  by  Henry  P.  Cheatham.  At  the 
time  of  his  death  Principal  Hicks  was  a  member  of  the  Board  of 
County  Commissioners  of  Washington  County.  He  had  been  a  mem- 
ber of  the  Legislature  of  1881,  which  increased  the  appropriation  for 
normal  instruction.  It  is  said  he  was  elected  a  County  Commis- 
sioner of  Washington  County  by  the  Democrats. 

i 

During  the  year  1883-'84  the  Peabody  Fund  of  about  .$205  a  year 
for  each  one  of  the  five  colored  normals  was  withdrawn,  except  $100 
spent  at  New  Bern  and  $189  at  Salisbury.  This  reduced  the  total 
resources  of  the  five  normals  to  about  $4,300  a  year.  In  his  report 
for  1884-1885  and  1885  and  1886.  page  14,  State  Superintendent 
Finger  said:  "We  are  now  applying  four  thousand  dollars  ($4,000) 
per  annum  for  normal  schools  for  the  colored  people.  Two  thousand 
dollars  ($2,000)  of  this  is  directed  by  statute,  section  2G51  of  The 
Code,  to  be  applied  at  one  place,  and  it  is  applied  at  Fayetteville ; 
the  balance,  $2,000,  is  directed  by  statute,  section  2652  of  The  Code, 
to  be  applied  to  not  less  than  four  schools,  and  it  is  applied  at  Salis- 
bury, Franklinton,  Plymouth,  and  New  Bern,  $500  to  each,  a  sum 
entirely  inadequate  to  support  them.  Rather  than  have  one  central 
school,  I  think  it  better  for  the  colored  people  that  something  be  added 


12 


to    the    appropriations    to    make    the    schools    they    now    have    more 
efficient." 

INCREASED  APPROPRIATION  AND  EXPANSION  OF 

CURRICULUM. 

The  Legislature  of  1887,  chapter  408,  Laws  of  1887,  in  view  of  the 
above  recommendation  increased  the  appropriation  to  the  colored 
normals  from  $4,000  to  $8,000,  making  the  resources  of  Fayetteville 
$2,000  a  year  and  each  of  the  other  four  schools  $1,500  a  year.  The 
most  immediate  effect  of  this  increase  of  appropriation  is  to  be  seen 
in  the  courses  of  study  of  these  schools  as  reported  for  1886-'87  and 
1887-'88.  The  Fayetteville  course  of  study  was  enlarged  by  adding 
Latin,  botany,  chemistry  and  psychology,  together  with  lectures  on 
history,  biography,  pedagogics  and  topics  of  the  day.  The  whole 
course  was  now  five  years,  beginning  at  about'  the  fourth  grade  of 
the  elementary  school.  There  were  only  three  teachers !  The  Senior 
course  is  interesting,  being  reported  as  embracing  rhetoric,  algebra, 
four  books  of  geometry,  book-keeping,  astronomy,  Latin,  Caesar, 
theory  and.  practice  of  teaching,  chemistry,  psychology,  botany,  draw- 
ing and  vocal  music.  The  Senior  class  of  1886-'87,  consisting  of  four- 
teen members,  was  reported  to  have  completed  this  course.  During 
the  year  1887-'88  the  Fayetteville  course  of  study  was  still  further 
enlarged.  The  preparatory  department  was  expanded  to  three  years 
and  the  Senior  normal  (third  class)  included  Latin,  algebra,  rhetoric, 
astronomy,  book-keeping,  school  economy,  botany,  theory  and  prac- 
tice, civil  government,  and  moral  philosophy.  The  faculty  still  re- 
mained the  same,  being  composed  of  a  principal  and  two  assistants. 
The  principal  speaking  of  the  course  of  study  in  his  report  for  1887-'88 
says :  "The  course  of  study  has  been  raised  from  year  to  year  to 
meet  the  demand  of  the  steadily  advancing  teaching  force  of  our 
public  schools,  and  the  popular  sentiment  everywhere  to  be  observed 
in  favor  of  more  proficient  teachers." 

In  1887-'88  the  Franklinton  Normal  claimed  to  "offer  a  school  for 
thoroughness  in  studies,  as  well  as  scope  in  English  studies,  second  to 
none  in  the  State."  The  course  as  outlined  embraced  four  years 
with  three  regular  teachers  and  one  teacher  employed  for  six  and  a 
half  months.  The  Senior  class  studied  book-keeping,  English  litera- 
ture, astronomy,  geometry,  botany,  zoology.  Greek.  Latin,  natural 
philosophy,  mental  and  moral  culture,  logic,  vocal  music,  and  the 
history  and  science  of  education.  The  standard  for  admission  em- 
braced what  would  now  be  called  fourth  grade  work. 

The  catalogue  and  circulars  of  the  Salisbury  Normal  for  1887-'88 
offered  "advantages  equal  to  that  of  any  other  school  in  the  State." 
Its  course  of  study  was  four  years  in  length.  The  first  year  was  "pre- 
paratory."    The   Senior  year   embraced  in   its  course  of  study   such 


13 


subjects  as  algebra,  general  history,  composition  and  rhetoric,  draw- 
ing, trigonometry,  botany,  chemistry,  book-keeping,  theory  and  prac- 
tice, elocution.   Latin,  school  organization,   methods  of  culture,   and 

school  law.  It  is  interesting  to  note  among  other  inconsistencies  that 
geometry  was  not  taught  at  all,  though  trigonometry  was  provided 
for.     The  faculty  consisted  of  three  teachers. 

The  Plymouth  Normal  School  advertised  a  four  years'  course  of 
study  very  similar  to  the  course  of  the  Fayetteville,  Franklinton,  and 
Salisbury  schools,  the  Senior  year  embracing  algebra,  English  and 
American  literature,  general  history,  composition,  rhetoric,  logic, 
geometry,  Latin,  natural  philosophy,  book-keeping,  and  pedagogics. 
The  faculty  consisted  of  only  three  teachers. 

During  the  summer  of  1887  the  school  at  New  Bern  was  moved  to 
Goldsboro  and  was  in  charge  of  L.  I*.  Berry  for  1887-'88.  The  records 
for  the  year  are  very  meagre,  but  no  doubt  it  was  conducted  on  lines 
very  much  like  those  of  the  other  schools. 

It  may  be  interesting  to  note  here  that  the  Legislature  of  1885  dis- 
continued the  University  Summer  Normal  School  and  established 
summer  normal  schools  for  white  teachers  at  Washington,  Asheville, 
Boone,  and  Winston,  dividing  among  them  the  $2,000  heretofore 
given  to  the  University  school.  The  summer  normal  schools  for 
white  teachers  at  Elizabeth  City.  Wilson,  Newton,  and  Franklin  were 
retained.  The  State  by  this  act  and  the  Act  of  1887  provided  for 
spending  $8,000  a  year  for  training  colored  teachers  and  $4,000  a 
year  for  white  teachers,  unless  we  consider  the  money  spent  on  the 
normal  department  established  at  the  University  in  the  fall  of  1885 
as  an  additional  sum. 

Such  conditions  as  have  been  described  above  remained  until  1889. 
The  Legislature  of  1889,  chapter  201,  Laws  of  1889,  provided  that 
the  $4,000  heretofore  spent  for  the  summer  normals  at  Winston. 
Franklin,  and  other  towns  should  be  expended  to  employ  two  com- 
petent men,  under  the  direction  and  supervision  of  the  State  Super- 
intendent, to  hold  institutes  throughout  the  State  in  addition  to  the 
county  institutes  that  were  then  already  provided  for  by  law.  This 
appropriaion  was  so  used  until  July  1.  1891.  when  it  was  turned  over 
to  the  normal  school  at  Greensboro.  The  work  of  Dr.  Charles  D. 
Mclver  and  of  Dr.  Edwin  A.  Alderman  resulted  from  the  passage  of 
the  law  referred  to  above.  And  the  State  Normal  College  for  Women 
at  Greensboro  is  directly  attributable  to  the  educational  awakening 
they  created  during  their  three  years  and  two  months  of  service.  But 
I  can  only  refer  to  the  provisions  made  for  the  training  of  white 
teachers. 

INDUSTRIAL  EDUCATION. 

The  reports  of  the  Fayetteville  school  for  1889-'90  show  that  such 
a    thing    as   industrial    education    or    manual    training    had    not    yet 


14 


gamed  a  foothold.  The  Senior  course  of  this  school  seems  to  have 
been  the  subject  of  still  more  expansion  than  ever  before,  for,  during 
this  year,  >Sallust,  Cicero,  Greek  and  other  subjects  were  added.  The 
course  of  the  Plymouth  Normal  was  also  enlarged,  political  economy 
being  taught  for  the  first  time.  But  very  little  equipment  and  no 
teachers  were  added. 

In  the  report  of  the  Goldsboro  Normal  for  1888-'89,  the  principal 
being  L.  P.  Berry,  the  subject  of  manual  training  for  these  schools  is 
first  mentioned.  Principal  Berry  says :  "Encouraged  by  benevolent 
friends  and  the  faithful  efforts  of  the  teachers,  we  were  enabled  to 
organize  an  Industrial  Department ;  sewing  and  needle-work  for  the 
females,  under  the  instruction  of  the  lady  teachers  ;  carpentry  and 
the  use  of  tools  for  the  males,  under  the  superintendency  of  Mr.  A. 
M.  Smith.  This  new  department,  though  in  its  infancy,  has  made 
commendable  progress."  The  principal  of  the  school  for  1889-'90,  S. 
B.  Pride,  seems  to  have  continued  the  industrial  work  begun  by  his 
predecessor.  And  such  work  appears  also  to  have  been  begun  at  the 
Salisbury  school  during  1889-'90,  by  the  principal,  J.  O.  Crosby,  espe- 
cially work  in  carpentry  and  dress-making. 

CONSOLIDATION  CONSIDERED. 

On  September  11.  1889.  a  normal  school  for  the  Croatan  Indians 
was  begun  and  continued  during  the  year  by  Ezra  Bander,  A.  M. 
The  Croatans  became  divided  into  two  religious  factions  and  this 
crippled  the  school-work  during  the  year.  It  seems  this  school  was 
originally  established  in  1887,  but  no  report  of  it  was  made  until 
1889. 

In  his  biennial  report  for  1890-'91  and  1891 -'92,  State  Superintend- 
ent Finger  first  mentions  the  question  of  consolidating  the  colored 
normal  schools  in  the  following  language :  "The  normal  schools  for  the 
colored  people  and  the  Crotans  have  been  so  successful  that  I  have 
no  recommendation  to  make  as  to  any  changes.  The  six  schools  for 
the  colored  people  do  need  more  money  to  enable  them  to  reach  more 
enlarged  usefulness.  The  colored  people  have  for  some  years  been  con- 
sidering whether  it  would  not  be  better  to  have  a  reduction  in  the 
number  of  these  schools,  and  so  have  more  efficient  and  more  ex- 
tended instruction.  I  doubt  whether  the  time  for  that  step  lias  yet 
arrived,  but  I  think  it  is  to  be  desired  in  the  not  very  distant  future.*' 

CHANGES. 

The  Legislature  of  1891  discontinued  the  $2,000  animal  appropria- 
tion to  the  Fayetteville  school  and  put  it  on  an  equality  with  the 
other  colored  normals  as  to  revenue.  This  Legislature  also  removed 
the  school  at  Franklinton  to  Warrenton.     Through  the  State  Super- 


15 


intendent  some  Peabody  money  was  again  secured  for  the  normals, 
beginning  in  1891.  But  this  source  of  revenue  was  limited,  only 
about  $250  being  given  to  any  one  school.  The  number  of  teachers 
at  all  the  schools  remained  the  same,  about  three  in  number.  But 
the  Plymouth  school  added  psychology  to  its  course  of  study  during 
the  year  1891-'92 ! 

ANOTHER  SCHOOL  ESTABLISHED. 

On  January  1,  1892,  a  new  normal  school  was  established  in  ac- 
cordance with  a  law  enacted  by  the  Legislature  of  1891.  Instead  of 
decreasing  the  number  of  these  schools,  as  the  State  Superintendent 
seems  to  have  thought  should  soon  be  done,  the  Legislature  added 
one  more  school  and  made  no  provision  for  buildings  or  equipment. 
Beyond  about  $1,500,  this  school  had  no  revenues,  so  it  was  in  the 
same  precarious  financial  condition  with  all  the  other  schools  of  its 
kind.  I  refer  to  the  Elizabeth  City  school.  Its  first  session  was  con- 
ducted by  the  principal,  P.  W.  Moore,  and  one  assistant. 

The  report  of  the  Goldsboro  school  for  1891-'92  shows  that  it  had 
changed  principals  and  "raised  the  school  curriculum."  Reference 
is  also  made  in  the  report  of  the  year  showing  a  continuation  of  its 
industrial  department.  If  we  are  to  rely  on  the  reports  of  all  these 
schools  for  1891-'92  and  the  preceding  years  all  of  them  were  enjoy- 
ing unprecedented  prosperity  and  were  becoming  better  known  and 
more  highly  appreciated.  One  thing  common  to  them  all  I  have  not 
yet  mentioned — "the  lectures  by  prominent  citizens"  to  the  students 
during  the  year.  This  seems  to  have  been  a  very  widespread  evil. 
Then,  each  school  also  had  its  commencement ;  its  literary  society  or 
lyceum,  and  as  much  parade  in  the  local  papers  as  could  be  obtained. 

STILL  ANOTHER  NORMAL  ESTABLISHED. 

Perhaps  enough  has  been  given  of  the  history  of  these  schools.  It 
would  be  useless  to  mention  the  constant  change  of  principals  and 
teachers.  But  some  other  facts  should,  perhaps,  be  noted.  The 
Legislature  of  1893.  again  established  a  normal  school  at  Franklin- 
ton,  with  J.  A.  Savage  as  principal,  and.  discontinued  the  one  at  War- 
renton.  The  same  Legislature  established  the  normal  department 
for  white  teachers  at  the  Cullowhee  High  School  in  Jackson  County, 
appropriating  $1,500  annually  for  that  purpose.  The  Legislature  of 
1895,  chapter  three  hundred  and  ninety-three.  Laws  of  1895,  passed 
an  act  making  it  the  duty  of  the  State  Board  of  Education  to  estab- 
lish another  colored  normal  school  at  Winston,  appropriating  $1,000 
a  year  for  the  same  on  condition  that  $1,000  additional  should  be 
raised  by  the  local  board  each  year.  This  school  was  organized  as 
an  industrial  and  normal  school,  with  S.  G.  Atkins  as  principal.     It 


16 


seems  that  at  the  heginning  the  normal  course  of  this  school  did  not 
attempt  more  than  the  public  school  studies.  The  State  now  had 
seven  normal  schools  for  colored  teachers  and  made  an  annual  appro- 
priation of  $10,000  to  them  all,  or  an  average  of  less  than  $1,500  each. 
The  Legislature  of  1897  increased  the  appropriation  to  the  colored 
normal  schools  from  $10,000  a  year  to  $14,000,  making  the  revenue  of 
each  about  $2,000  outside  of  a  few  hundred  dollars  contributed  by 
the  Peabody  Board. 

CONSOLIDATION  RECOMMENDED. 

In  his  report  for  1896-'97  and  1897-'98,  State  Superintendent 
Mebane  said :  "The  results  that  I  see  from  our  Colored  Normal 
Schools  are  not  satisfactory  to  me.  I  find  that  a  great  deal  of  the 
work  done  is  not  thorough  and  is  not  practical.  I  find  that  the 
pupils  have  a  smattering  of  many  subjects,  and  do  not  know  thor- 
oughly and  well  any  one  subject.  I  find  great  haste  to  get  away 
from  arithmetic,,  geography,  spelling,  and  English' grammar,  in  order 
to  study  Latin,  algebra  and  other  higher  studies.  I  would  not  for  a 
moment  find  any  objection  to  the  higher  studies  if  the  lower  studies 
are  mastered  first." 

Superintendent  Mebane  recommended  in  the  same  biennial  report 
that  the  State  Board  of  Examiners  be  required  to  make  a  course  of 
study  for  the  normal  schools  and  be  given  complete  control  of  them. 
He  also  strongly  recommended,  approved  by  Dr.  J.  L.  M.  Curry,  then 
Agent  of  the  Peabody  Board,  the  consolidation  of  the  seven  schools 
into  three.  This  was  not  done,  and  Dr.  Curry  withdrew  from  sev- 
eral of  the  schools  the  support  the  Peabody  Fund  was  then  giving. 

EXAMINERS'  COURSE  OF  STUDY. 

The  Legislature  of  1899  placed  the  power  of  making  the  course 
of  study  for  the  normal  schools  in  the  hands  of  the  State  Board  of 
Examiners.  This  course  of  study,  adopted  in  1899  and  revised  in 
1901,  was  the  following : 

First  Year. — Arithmetic  (5).  English  Grammar  (3),  Composition 
(2),  Reading  (5),  U.  S.  History  (3),  Geography  (2),  Drawing  (2), 
Writing  (2),  Spelling  (5),  Vocal  Music  (15  minutes  each  day). 

Notp:. — The  figures  refer  to  the  number  of  forty-minute  recitations 
a  week,  except  spelling,  which  was  limited  to  recitations  of  twenty 
minutes  in  length.  Twenty-five  recitations  a  week  were  required  in 
all  classes. 

Second  Year. — Arithmetic  (5),  English  Grammar  (3),  Composition 
(2),  Reading  and  Civil  Government  (5),  U,  S.  History  (3),  Geog- 
raphy (2),  Drawing  (2),  Spelling  (5),  Writing  (1),  Vocal  Music 
(15  minutes  each  day). 


17

The  requirements  for  entrance  were  fixed  at  about  what  is  re- 
quired for  the  completion  of  the  fourth  grade  of  the  present  State 
course  of  study  for  the  public  schools.  But  even  after  its  adoption, 
the  principal  of  the  Franklinton  Normal,  in  his  report  for  1899-1900 
declared  that  "we  should  establish  a  course  of  lectures  on  the  Science 
of  Government,  the  Philosophy  of  History,  the  Pressing  Needs  of  the 
Negro  and  Prerequisites  to  Teach.  Two  hundred  dollars  will  cover 
such  a  course."  The  principal  of  the  Salisbury  Normal  reported,  for 
1899-1900,  that  "the  attendance  was  less  than  in  former  years,  due,  I 
think,  to  some  extent,  to  a  misunderstanding  on  the  part  of  some  of 
our  former  students  and  patrons  regarding  the  purpose  and  scope 
of  the  new  course  prescribed  by  the  State  Board  for  the  Colored  Nor- 
mal Schools.  :-:  *  *  At  the  beginning  there  was  much  complaining, 
but  after  the  first  two  months  students  not  only  became  satisfied, 
but  delighted,  with  the  change  in  the  course  of  instruction." 

In  his  biennial  report  for  1900-'01  and  1901-'02,  State  Superintend- 
ent Joyner  said  that  "we  have  made  many  and  grievous  mistakes  in 
the  education  of  the  negro.  We  may  expect  to  make  more.  We  can 
correct  these  mistakes  not  by  decreasing  the  quantity  of  his  educa- 
tion, but  rather  by  improving  the  quality  of  it :  not  by  destroying  the 
means  of  his  education,  but  rather  by  directing  it  in  proper  channels. 
All  too  often  has  his  education  been  the  tragedy  of  the  blind  leading 
the  blind."  In  the  same  report  he  urged  the  consolidation  of  the 
seven  negro  normal  schools  into  three.  The  Legislature  of  1903  did 
not  consolidate  these  schools,  but  put  them  and  the  annual  appro- 
priation of  $14,000  for  their  maintenance  entirely  under  the  control 
of  the  State  Board  of  Education  and  the  State  Board  of  Examiners. 

CONSOLIDATION. 

During  the  summer  of  1903  the  State  Board  of  Education,  acting 
on  the  recommendation  of  State  Superintendent  Joyner  and  that  of 
the  State  Board  of  Examiners,  consolidated  the  seven  normal  schools 
into  four  schools,  locating  them  at  Fayetteville,  Franklinton.  Eliza- 
beth City,  and  Winston.  During  the  school  year  of  1903-'04  the 
State   Board   of    Examiners    visited   these    Colored   Normal    Schools, 


18 


examined  closely  into  their  work,  and  in  further  compliance  with  the 
law  held  a  summer  school  of  three  weeks'  duration  at  Greensboro, 
July,  1904,  for  the  training  of  the  teachers  composing  the  faculties  of 
these  schools. 

In  order  to  unify  and  improve  the  work  done  at  these  schools,  the 
State  Board  of  Education,  on  the  recommendation  of  the  State  Board 
of  Examiners,  appointed  a  superintendent  to  take  charge  of  the  four 
schools,  whose  duty  it  should  be  to  try  to  make  their  work  more 
efficient  by  personal  supervision  and  direction. 

THE  WORK  OF  THE  SUPERINTENDENT. 

What  has  already  been  said  gives  briefly  the  past  condition  of  the 
colored  normal  schools  of  the  State.  Mj  work  as  superintendent  of 
these  schools  began  on  August  15,  1904.  The  first  thing  I  did  was  to 
study  their  history  with  the  results  above  recounted.  I  then  began 
work  on  a  new  course  of  study,  somewhat  more  definite  and  simple 
than  the  course  in  operation  up  to  the  school  year  1904-'05.  That 
course  was  submitted  to  your  board  and  approved.  It  reads  as  fol- 
lows :

PRIMARY  SCHOOL  COURSE  OF  STUDY. 

It  is  necessary  on  account  of  the  poor  preparation  of  those  who  ap- 
ply for  entrance  to  the  classes  of  these  normal  schools  to  have  a  good 
primary  school  in  connection  with  each  normal.  I  have  attempted  to 
organize  such  schools  for  that  reason  and  also  for  the  reason  that  such 
a  school  will  be  necessary  in  the  proper  training  of  teachers.  Most  of 
the  colored  public  schools  of  the  State  at  present  should  embrace 
only  the  first  four  grades.  It  will  be  necessary  to  have  such  a  school 
in  which  candidates  for  graduation  from  these  normal  schools  can 
be  required  to  teach  successfully  prior  to  graduation.  I  have,  there- 
fore, also  made  a  course  of  study  for  the  primary  schools.  These  pri- 
mary schools  have  been  organized  with  very  little  additional  cost  to 
the  State,  by  co-operation  with  the  local  school  authorities.  The  pri- 
mary course  of  study  reads  as  follows  : 

1.  READING  : 

a.  Phonics — spelling  and  writing. 

&.  Holmes'  First  Reader  (third  month),  Holbrook's  Hiawatha 
Primer   (Geography),  Claxton's  Grimm's  Fairy  Stories   (History). 

2.  Language  : 

a.  The  Story  (oral  only). 

6.  Copying  by  sentences  and  paragraphs. 

c.  Dictation  by  sentences  and  paragraphs. 

Teachers  should  use  the  readers  for  this  work.  The  copying  and 
dictation  must  not  take  the  sentence  out  of  its  place  in  the  para- 
graph. The  relation  of  sentence  and  paragraph  must  always  be 
retained. 

3.  Drawing  : 

o.  Permit  and  encourage  children  to  draw  live  objects,  such  as 
they  desire. 

&.  Let  the  writing  be  introduced  by  means  of  drawing. 
c.  Use  Book  1,  Normal  Drawing. 

4.  Arithmetic  ;  See  second  year. 

5.  History  :  See  Reading. 

6.  Geography  : 

a.  See  Reading. 

f).  Let  the  children  have  a  garden  and  by  that  means  study  the 
life  histories  of  at  least  four  common  plants.  Let  the  location  deter- 
mine what  plants  are  studied.  Plants  that  furnish  food,  clothing 
or  shelter  will  be  most  interesting  to  children.     The  life  histories  of 


24 


some  animals  should  also  be  studied.  The  moth,  the  butterfly,  the 
toad  and  any  animals  which  furnish  food  or  clothing  will  be  inter- 
esting.

working  under  the  Superintendent  and  the  local  Principal.  The  reg- 
ular normal  teachers  and  the  fourth-year  normal  pupils  will  assist 
in  the  teaching.  The  daily  programmes  will  be  made  by  the  Superin- 
tendent to  suit  local  needs  and  conditions. 

SETS  OF  BOOKS. 

In  organizing  these  normal  schools  I  found  that  very  few  of  the 
pupils  had  done  any  reading  of  real  literature  or  were  acquainted 
with  the  books  in  the  State  Course  of  Study,  which  they  will  soon 
be  called  upon  to  teach.  For  the  use  of  the  fourth-year  normal 
classes  at  all  the  schools  I  had  the  following  sets  of  books  relating 
to  literature  and  geography  bought  after  consultation  with  the  local 
boards,  so  that  this  year's  graduates  could  become  familiar  with  the 
reading  books  of  the  primary  grades : 

12  Baldwin's  Fairy  Stories  and  Fables. 

12  Guerber's  Story  of  the  Thirteen  Colonies. 

12  Pratt's  Legends  of  the  Red  Children. 

(American  Book  Company.) 

6  Tarr  and  McMurry's  Geography  I.

12  Holbrook's  Hiawatha  Primer. 

(Houghton,  Mifflin  &  Co.) 
12  Claxton's  Grimm's  Fairy  Stories. 

(B.  F.  Johnson  Publishing  Co.) 
The  total  list  price  of  the  above  books  is  $55.60. 

OTHER  WORK  OF  SUPERVISION. 

I  shall  omit  mentioning  hundreds  of  details  that  I  have  given  at- 
tention, to  in  the  organization  of  these  schools.  I  soon  found,  how- 
ever, that  for  many  reasons,  I  could  not  do  very  much  supervision 


27 


work  this  year,  unless  I  bad  something  to  put  in  the  hands  of  the 
teachers  to  direct  them  in  my  absence,  and  to  be  the  basis  of  my 
work  while  I  could  be  present  with  them.  To  make  myself  more 
nearly  present  at  all  the  schools  all  the  time  and  to  carry  on  effec- 
tive supervision  work,  I  resolved  to  prepare  teachers'  manuals  on 
the  several  subjects  of  the  course  of  elementary  instruction,  contain- 
ing directions  how  to  teach  these  subjects.  I  have  completed  most  of 
this  work.  One  of  these  manuals  lias  been  printed.  It  has  been  my 
hope  in  preparing  these  manuals  to  be  of  use  to  all  the  elementary 
teachers  of  the  State. 

FINANCES. 

The  total  revenue  of  these  four  schools  is  $13,000.  According  to  an 
act  of  the  Legislature  of  1895,  the  Winston  school  gets  $1,000  for  the 
use  of  its  plant  and  equipment,  provided  the  local  board  raises  a 
like  amount.  I  have  carefully  estimated  the  cost  of  these  schools  for 
this  school  year  of  nine  months.  The  Elizabeth  City  school  will  cost 
$3,442,  Winston  $3,000,  Fayetteville  $2,660,  and  Franklinton  $2,360. 
The  total  cost  will  be  $11,462.  On  September  1,  1904,  these  schools 
had  a  balance  to  their  credit  of  $4,570.11.  Thus  it  will  be  seen  that 
something  can  be  saved  this  year  for  permanent  improvements.  I  do 
not  think  it  wise  to  spend  any  more  money  on  these  schools  than  is 
now  being  spent,  until  better  equipment  can  be  provided 

The  following  table  will  show  the  amount  the  State  has  spent  since 
1877  on  these  colored  normal  schools : 

From  June  30,  1877,  to  July  1,  18S1   (one  school) $  8,000 

From  July  1,  1881,  to  June  30,  1887  (five  schools) 24,000 

From  July  1,  1887,  to  June  30,  1892  (five  schools) 40,000 

From  July  1,  1892,  to  June  30,  1895  (six  schools) 24,000 

From  July  1,  1895,  to  June  30,  1897   (seven  schools) 20,000 

From  July  1,  1897,  to  June  30,  1903  (seven  schools) 84,000 

From  July  1,  1903,  to  June  30,  1905  (four  schools) 28,000 

Total  expenditures,   28  years $228,000 

The  above  amount  has  been  spent  almost  entirely  for  teachers' 
salaries,  and  does  not  include  the  Peabody  Fund.  The  State,  it  is 
safe  to  say,  on  account  of  the  inadequate  equipment  of  the  buildings 
in  which  these  schools  have  been  taught  and  the  lack  of  supervision 
has  sustained  a  net  loss  of  $114,000  dollars,  or  at  least  half  of  the 
total  sum  spent.  Any  one  who  has  seen  the^e  schools  and  the  build- 
ings in  which  they  are  now  conducted  will  readily  agree  that  the 
above  estimate  of  loss  is  very  conservative.  It  is  too  late  now  to  re- 
cover this  money,  but  the  folly  of  its  expenditure,  under  the  condi- 
tions I  have  heretofore  tried  to  describe,  must  be  apparent  to  every 


28 


one.  To-day  the  State  owns  no  building  used  by  these  colored  normal 
schools.  These  schools  have  been  taught  in  churches,  in  town  public 
school  buildings,  in  rented  private  halls,  and  the  like.  A  considerable 
sum  has  been  spent  each  year  for  rents,  desks,  blackboards  and 
chairs,  rendered  necessary  by  such  a  policy  as  has  been  pursued.  I 
have  counted  all  these  items  in  my  estimate  of  loss  as  given  above. 
All  these  expenditures  are  now  nearly  valueless.  The  furniture  and 
other  equipment  which  the  State  now  owns  at  all  the  four  schools  is 
worth  considerably  less  than  $1,000,  according  to  my  inventory. 

THE  BUILDINGS. 

I  think  this  statement  of  the  facts  is  the  best  argument  I  can  make 
for  a  change  of  such  an  expensive  policy.  But,  perhaps,  I  should 
remind  you  of  some  details.  The  house  now  being  used  by  the  Fay- 
etteville  school  is  much  too  small.  The  children  in  the  primary  school 
must  sit  on  the  floor  or  four  on  a  seat  intended  for  two.  The  normal 
students  are  not  much  better  off.  At  Franklinton  the  primary  school 
is  in  the  same  condition  as  at  Fayetteville.  There  are  not  enough 
seats  for  all  the  normal  school  pupils  either.  At  Elizabeth  City 
about  fifty  children  are  huddled  up  in  a  room  18x20  feet.  The  nor- 
mal school  pupils  are  so  crowded  in  the  little  rooms  that  good  work 
is  simply  impossible.  Several  of  the  school-rooms  there  have  no 
desks,  and  writing,  if  done  at  all,  must  be  done  on  the  knees.  The 
Winston  Primary  School  is  at  present  in  as/bad  condition  as  any  I 
have  described.  In  addition,  there  is  not  a  sanitary  school-room  in 
any  of  the  buildings  now  used  by  these  schools,  except  some  rooms 
used  by  the  Winston  school.  With  the  exception  mentioned,  every 
one  of  the  school-rooms  in  use  should  be  condemned  as  wholly  unfit 
for  school  purposes.  Such,  gentlemen,  is  the  pathetic  picture  of  the 
buildings  in  which  the  State  is  now  attempting  to  train  teachers  for 
one-third  of  its  children  of  school  age.  I  have  said  these  buildings 
are  unsanitary.  I  mean  they  are  cold,  uncomfortable,  dirty,  and 
cannot  be  cleaned;  that  the  furniture  is  often  a  disgrace  to  the  name 
of  school.  And  besides  the  closets  at  several  of  these  places  must 
necessarily  be  so  placed  that  they  promote  anything  but  good  morals 
and  cleanliness.  Some  of  you  have  seen  what  I  am  describing  and 
know  that  I  have  not  overdrawn  the  picture. 

Of  course,  under  the  circumstances,  it  is  impossible  to  teach  ef- 
fectively the  very  rudimentary  course  of  study  which  I  have  outlined 
above  and  which  is  now  being  attempted.  There  can  be  no  real  edu- 
cation under  the  circumstances,  much  less  can  there  be  such  a  thing 
as  manual  training,  except  in  name. 


29 


WHAT  CAN  BE  DONE. 

I  see  only  one  of  two  things  to  do,  under  the  circumstance:  (1) 
Abandon  the  work  at  all  except  one  or  two  schools  and  use  part  of  ' 
the  present  appropriation  for  a  term  of  years  toward  securing  suitable 
buildings  in  which  to  conduct  the  schools ;  or  (2)  save  as  much  of  the 
present  appropriation  as  possible  each  year  and  secure  an  extra  ap- 
propriation which,  together  with  the  amount  possible  to  save  out  of 
the  present  appropriation,  can  be  used  for  a  term  of  years  to  secure 
suitable  buildings.  One  of  these  courses  of  action  is  absolutely  neces- 
sary to  any  future  success. 

The  board  of  directors  of  the  Slater  property  at  Winston  have  pro- 
posed to  turn  over  all  their  land  and  buildings  to  the  State  for  $12,- 
000.  The  State  has  already  given  this  school  $1,000  extra  for  nine 
years.     The  Slater  board  say  they  think  the  expenditure  of  this  $9,- 

000  should  give  the  State  an  equity  in  the  property.  For  $12,000 
more  the.  State  can  secure  land  and  buildings  which  have  cost  some- 
thing like  $40,000.     The  acceptance  of  this  offer,  the  details  of  which 

1  submit  with  this  report,  would  enable  the  State  to  secure  a  plant 
which  could  soon  be  made  very  effective.  The  county  of  Forsyth  is 
building  a  three-room  modern  school  building  costing  $1,800  for  the 
primary  school  at  this  place,  on  condition  that  the  normal  teachers 
teach  the  children  of  school  age  in  the  neighborhood  of  the  school. 
The  county  also  has  made  this  school  one  of  its  regular  schools  and  it 
will  receive  a  liberal  apportionment  of  public  money  hereafter. 

For  some  time  the  State  has  owned  five  acres  of  land  one  mile 
from  Elizabeth  City,  given  for  normal  school  purposes.  The  present 
site  of  the  Elizabeth  City  Normal  School  is  in  a  thickly  settled  part 
of  the  town,  and  there  is  no  land  surrounding  the  building  in  which 
the  school  is  taught.  Whatever  extra  appropriation  the  Legislature 
might  make  could  all  be  utilized  for  buildings  at  this  place  without 
any  expenditure  for  land. 

OTHER  SUGGESTIONS. 

If  the  State  should  be  willing  to  secure  sites  and  buildings  for  all 
the  four  normal  schools,  then  their  future  development  may  be  out- 
lined. The  present  course  embraces  only  the  elementary  course  of 
study  with  some  instruction  as  to  how  to  teach  the  first  four  grades 
of  that  course  in  the  public  schools.  If  the  necessary  equipment  is 
provided,  then  these  schools  should  each  have  a  little  higher  course 
of  study,  paying  special  attention  to  the  manual  arts.  It  will  then 
be  possible  to  begin  more  definitely  the  training  of  teachers  for  the 
negro  public  schools.  The  present  arrangement  can  only  be  a  poor 
attempt  and  will  finally  result  in  failure,  for  the  reason  that  the 
present  elementary  course  of  study  is  not  long  enough  to  do  more 
than  train  the  present  normal  students  in  the  tools  of  knowledge.     A 


30' 


course  so  limited  can  not  train  teachers  in  any  broad  sense,  and  to 
attempt  it  as  a  permanent  policy  is  only  to  invite  final  failure. 

THE  NECESSITY  OF  TRAINING  COLORED  TEACHERS. 

It  is  not  necessary  to  call  your  attention  to  the  fact  that  the  county 
superintendents  in  all  parts  of  the  State  declare  that  they  can  not 
get  teachers  for  the  negro  public  schools  if  they  hold  the  colored  can- 
didates for  teachers'  certificates  to  the  same  standard  which  they 
have  for  white  teachers.  Every  one  knows  how  low  the  standard  of 
scholarship  now  is  for  the  second  grade  certificate  issued  to  the  white 
teacher.  How  low,  then,  is  the  standard  of  scholarship  for  the  sec- 
ond grade  certificate  issued  to  the  colored  teacher  can  well  be 
imagined.  And  yet  these  second  grade  colored  teachers  are  teaching 
almost  one-third  of  the  school  children  of  the  State.  They  are  teach- 
ing a  race,  too,  which  above  all  else  needs  good  teachers.  It  would 
take  a  heart  of  stone  to  hold  the  negro  responsible  for  the  failure  to 
profit  by  such  training  as  he  has  had  within  the  last  thirty  years  at 
the  hands  of  teachers  trained  under  the  system  described  above.  That 
system  the  negro  did  not  invent  for  himself.  It  was  devised  by  our 
race,  or,  to  be  more  exact,  it  was  devised  by  no  one,  for  there  has 
hardly  yet  been  the  semblance  of  a  plan  to  train  negro  teachers  in 
North  Carolina,  and  for  proof  I  cite  the  historical  record  adverted 
to  above.  However,  I  think  every  patriotic  North  Carolinian  will 
agree  that  it  is  the  plain  duty  of  the  State  to  train,  under  proper 
supervision,  teachers  for  the  negro  race,  and  not  leave  that  work  to 
those  who  may  not  be  in  sympathy  with  our  best  aims  and  ideals  in 
education. 

CONCLUSION. 

I  see  but  one  thing  to  encourage  us  in  my  visits  to  these  schools, 
and  that  thing  is  not  equipment,  not  trained  teachers  laboring  under 
disadvantages,  not  pupils  of  good  scholarship — not  any  of  these.  Per- 
haps it  is  something  higher  and  better  than  anything  I  have  men- 
tioned. In  a  word,  the  one  thing  I  see  to  encourage  us  to  go  vigor- 
ously about  doing  this  work  is  the  pathetic  earnestness  of  the  ma- 
jority of  the  pupils  who  are  attending  these  schools.  They  desire  to 
learn  and  to  be  better  and  to  teach  others.  I  have  yet  failed  in  all 
my  experience  as  a  teacher  to  see  greater  devotion  and  self-sacrifice 
in  my  own  race  than  I  have  seen  manifested  by  pupils  in  these  normal 
schools,  under  adverse  circumstances,  to  obtain  an  education.  We 
cannot,  therefore,  escape  the  responsibility  of  making  an  appeal  to 
the  conscience  of  the  State  of  North  Carolina  to  go  about  the  problem 
feebly  set  forth  in  the  above  story.  And  that  appeal  should  be  made 
in  the  name  of  right  and  humanity,  not  in  the  name  of  selfishness 
and  greed ;  in  the  name  of  Him  who  said  that  whosoever  receiveth 
one  of  these  little  ones  receiveth  Me.

The  above  figures  are  taken  from  the  reports  of  the  State  Auditor 
of  North  Carolina.  The  figures  show  that  the  assessed  value  of 
colored  property  is  increasing  at  a  more  rapid  rate  than  the  rate  of 
increase  for  all  other  property  except  railroads  and  other  corporation 
property. 


RECORD  OF  PROGRESS  1905-'06. 


During  the  school  year  1905-'06  the  Slater  School  Board  at  Winston- 
Salem  conveyed  to  the  State  Board  of  Education  its  property,  con- 
sisting of  about  sixteen  acres  of  land,  together  with  the  school  build- 
ings and  equipment,  which  have  cost  about  $40,000.  The  State  Board 
assumes  a  debt  of  $12,000  on  this  property.  But  the  property'  is  easily 
worth  $25,000.  This  means  that  a  gift  of  at  least  $12,000  has  been 
made  to  the  State  by  citizens  of  Winston-Salem  and  elsewhere,  who 
owned  this  property. 

During  the  year  twenty-six  acres  of  land  near  Fayetteville  have 
been  purchased  for  a  school  site,  at  a  cost  of  $1,500.  The  colored 
people  and  their  white  friends  in  that  vicinity  have  contributed 
$529.84  of  this  amount ;  $500  has  been  paid  out  of  the  Colored  Normal 
School  annual  appropriation,  and  the  remainder  has  been  advanced 
through  the  liberality  of  Messrs.  E.  E.  Smith  and  T.  W.  Thurston,  the 
first-named  being  the  principal  of  the  Fayetteville  Normal  School  and 
the  other  the  superintendent  of  the  Ashley-Bailey  Silk  Mill.  Both 
are  colored  men  deeply  interested  in  the  success  of  the  work  at  Fay- 
etteville. 

At  Elizabeth  City  eighteen  acres  of  land  have  been  bought  during 
the  year,  at  a  cost  of  $2,000.  Of  this  amount  $1,652.43  has  been  con- 
tributed by  the  colored  people  of  that  section  of  the  State,  aided  by 
their  white  friends  in  that  vicinity  and  elsewhere.  Some  years  ago 
a  gift  of  five  acres  of  land  for  a  school  site  at  Elizabeth  City  was 
made  by  a  friend  of  the  work  at  that  place.  The  eighteen  acres  pur- 
chased this  year  adjoins  this  five  acres,  making  a  site  of  twenty-three 
acres  in  all. 

During  the  year,  therefore,  it  will  be  seen  that  $15,500  has  been 
added  to  the  permanent  equipment  of  these  three  colored  normal 
schools,  less  than  $1,000  of  which  has  been  expended  out  of  the  annual 
appropriation  of  State  funds.  This  means  that  the  State  has  been 
given  nearly  $15,000  during  the  year  to  aid  in  helping  along  the  work 
of  training  teachers  for  the  colored  public  schools. 

In  addition  to  what  is  said  above,  it  should  be  remembered  that 
about  $5,000  in  good  pledges  remains  to  be  collected  at  Fayetteville 
and  Elizabeth  City.  This  sum  will  be  available  as  soon  as  building 
work  is  begun  at  these  places.  Many  colored  people  at  both  these 
places  have  also  expressed  a  willingness  to  aid  by  means  of  labor  as 
soon  as  the  State  can  see  its  way  clear  to  undertake  such  operations. 

But  this  is  not  all  the  progress  that  has  been  made.  The  teachers 
and  pupils  of  these  schools  are  more  in  earnest  than  ever.  They  are 
doing  better  work  than  ever  before.      The  average  attendance  is  bet- 


6 


ter,  the  principals  have  had  less  trouble  with  discipline,  and  the  citi- 
zens, both  white  and  black,  are  taking  more  interest  in  the  work  than 
ever  before.  The  work  of  each  school  in  detail  can  be  seen  from  the 
matter  contained  in  this  catalogue.  I  regret  that  space  does  not  per- 
mit printing  more  complete  and  detailed  accounts  of  what  is  being 
done.  But  enough  is  given  to  convince  any  fair-minded  person  that 
these  schools  are  worth  the  State's  attention  and  care.  An  extra 
appropriation  from  the  State  equal  in  amount  to  what  has  been  given 
by  the  local  communities  would  enable  us  to  put  these  schools  into 
permanent  homes  of  their  own,  thus  greatly  increasing  their  useful- 
ness and  efficiency.  Charles  L.  Coon. 


GENERAL  INFORMATION. 


TUITION. 

Tuition  in  all  the  normal  schools  is  free  to  those  who  intend  to  teach 
in  the  colored  public  schools  of  North  Carolina.  Those  who  do  not 
intend  to  teach  must  pay  $10  a  year  tuition.  These  schools  are  main- 
tained for  the  purpose  of  training  teachers  for  the  elementary  public 
schools.  It  is  only  just  and  right  that  those  who  take  advantage  of 
these  schools,  and  who  do  not  intend  to  teach,  shall  pay  the  tuition 
charges. 

PURPOSE. 

The  Colored  State  Normal  Schools  at  Winston-Salem,  Fayetteville 
and  Elizabeth  City  are  maintained  by  the  State  for  the  purpose  of 
training  teachers  for  the  colored  elementary  public  schools  of  North 
Carolina.  The  school  at  Winston-Salem  was  established  in  1895 ;  the 
school  at  Elizabeth  City  in  1891,  and  the  school  at  Fayetteville  in  1877.

examinations  and  their  result  must  be  approved  by  the  superintendent. 

4.  No  pupil  will  be  advanced  to  a  higher  class  except  upon  the  satis- 
factory completion  of  the  work  of  the  preceding  class.  'All  tests  and 
examination  questions  shall' be  first  approved  by  the  superintendent, 
and  no  promotion  to  a  higher  class  shall  be  valid  except  approved  by 
the  superintendent. 

5.  The  school  year  shall  consist  of  eight  months  of  twenty  school 
days  each.  No  holidays  except  Thanksgiving  Day,  Christmas  Day  and 
New  Year's  Day  shall  be  given.  A  Christmas  recess  not  exceeding 
ten  days  may  be  given,  but  such  recess  shall  not  be  included  in  the 
school  year  of  160  days. 

6.  Three  unexcused  absences  or  tardics  during  the  year  shall  cause 
any  pupil  to  be  suspended  from  school  for  the  remainder  of  the  year. 
No  principal  shall  accept  any  excuse  for  tardiness  or  absence  except 
the  serious  sickness  of  the  pupil  or  his  immediate  family.  The  super- 
intendent shall  have  the  power  to  define  the  terms  absence  and  tardi- 
ness. 


8

the  elementary  school  as  set  forth  in  the  State  Course  of  Study  will 
be  required  for  entrance  on  the  work  of  the  normal  course  of  study. 

BEGINNING   OF  SESSION   1906-'07. 

The  session  of  1906-'07  will  begin  at  Fayetteville,  September  17,

PRIMARY  SCHOOL  COURSE. 

It  is  sometimes  necessary,  on  account  of  the  poor  preparation  of 
those  who  apply  for  entrance  to  the  classes  of  the  normal  schools,  to 
have  a  good  primary  school  in  connection  with  each  normal.  It  is 
also  necessary  to  have  such  a  school  in  which  candidates  for  gradua- 
tion from  the  normal  schools  can  be  required  to  teach  successfully 
prior  to  graduation.

HOW  SOME  STUDENTS  PAY  THEIR  EXPENSES. 


Hugh  It.  Mosley,  Rockingham  County,  worked  on  a  brick-yard  to 
secure  enough  money  to  enter  Slater  in  the  winter  of  1902.  During 
first  vacation  he  worked  on  a  railroad  in  West  Virginia.  Has  since 
paid  his  own  way  by  all  kinds  of  manual  labor.  Graduated  May, 
1906.     He  is  23  years  old. 

W.  E.  Patterson,  Mecklenburg  County,  is  21  years  old ;  is  in  the  first 
Normal  class.  He  was  born  and  reared  on  a  farm  ;  picked  peas  and 
cotton  for  his  neighbors  to  get  money  enough  to  come  to  Slater  two 
years  ago.  He  has  been  working  on  the  school  farm  and  making  his 
own  way. 

Charles  W.  Roseman,  Lincoln  County ;  born  19  years  ago.  Carried 
mail  on  a  star  route  to  get  railroad  fare  and  clothes  with  which  to 
leave  home.  Entered  the  primary  school  at  Slater  in  1902.  He  has 
steadily  worked  on  the  farm  and  at  other  work  to  make  his  own  way. 
He  is  now  a  member  of  the  regular  First-year  Normal  Class. 

Belle  Ballard,  18  years  old ;  born  in  Camden,  S.  C. ;  entered  Slater  in 
January,  1904 ;  has  worked  at  Slater  Hospital,  laundry,  in  the  Slater 
kitchen  and  at  other  work  and  has  made  her  way  for  two  years.  She 
is  now  in  the  First-year  Normal  Class  and  thinks  she  can  continue  in 
school  until  she  graduates.      She  pays  all  her  expenses. 

Cornelius  Redd,  17  years  old ;  graduated  in  1906 ;  has  worked  in  a 
tobacco  factory  and  made  money  enough  to  pay  his  expenses  for  five 
years. 

M.  Q.  Cele,  26  years  old ;  born  in  Africa ;  he  is  learning  our  lan- 
guage and  writes  a  fairly  good  hand.  His  story  in  his  own  words  fol- 
lows : 

My  home  is  in  South  eastern  part  of  Africa.  When  the  white  mis- 
sionary first  came  over  to  the  part  of  Africa  where  I  came  from  I  was 
very  young,  but  he  lived  till  I  was  grown  enough  to  know  him.  So 
before  he  was  there  a  long  time  my  father  became  civilized,  and  he 
was  told  of  this  country  and  its  school,  so  he  made  up  his  mind  to 
send  me  over  here.  Although  the  expenses  were  so  high  to  pay  my 
way  from  Africa  to  here  we  knew  that  we  can  make  up  enough  to 
bring  me  over  here.  We  didn't  know  that  the  school  shall  cost  me 
any  thing  since  we  didn't  have  any  body  to  tell  us  that.  So  after  all 
my  father  starded  me  for  America.  I  reached  New  york  City  May 
25,  1901.  I  stop  there  one  week,  the  white  good  friend  I  stoped  with, 
he  learned  of  Slater  so  he  sent  me  to  Slater  School.  When  I  first 
come  here,  three  things  discourage  me  badly  that  many  times  I  wish 
that  I  never  knew  of  this  country.  First  was  I  couldn't  talk  English. 
Second  I  didn't  have  funds  to  pay  my  way  in  school.  Third  I  came 
from  a  place  where  a  man  don't  have  to  work,  and  so  I  never  work 


55 

before  I  come  here  but  when  I  find  that  I  must  work  if  I  must  live  in 
this  country  so  I  make  up  my  mind  that  I  am  going  to  work,  so  now 
I  can  do  as  much  work  as  any  man  of  my  size  and  also  I  can  talk 
little  English  and  write  such  as  I  have  written  in  this  letter.  I  have 
been  making  my  own  way  through  school  every  since  I  came  here. 
The  way  I  get  my  schooling  I  work  hard  during  vacation  and  two 
years  ago  I  was  fortunate  to  get  a  job  in  the  city  that  I  work  at  every 
afternoon  when  school  duties  are  over  I  have  to  go  there  for  cleaning 
up,  and  in  that  way  I  get  help.  And  I  hope  to  do  that  till  I  get 
through  the  school  then  return  home  to  Africa.

Every  son,  whatever  may  be  his  expectations  as  to  fortune,  ought  to 
be  so  educated  that  he  can  superintend  some  part  of  the  complicated 
machinery  of  social  life ;  and  every  daughter  ought  to  be  so  educated 
that  she  can  answer  the  claims  of  humanity,  whether  these  claims 
require  the  labor  of  the  head  or  the  labor  of  the  hand. — Horace  Mann. 


"Every  human  being  has  an  absolute,  indefeasible  right  to  an  educa- 
tion ;  and  there  is  the  correlative  duty  of  government  to  see  that  the 
means  of  education  are  provided  for  all.  Government  protects  child- 
hood, but  childhood  has  more  than  physical  wants.  Infanticide  is 
prohibited,  but  life  is  not  worth  living  unless  instruction  supervenes. 
Otherwise,  no  true  life,  no  real  manhood.  It  is  a  travesty  on  man- 
hood to  make  a  brutal  prize-fighter  its  representative.  Education  is 
due  from  government  to  children.  The  school  is  supplementary  to 
family,  to  churches,  in  the  province  of  education.  Society  rests  upon 
education  in  its  comprehensive  meaning.  Man  must  be  educated  out 
of,  lifted  above  animal  impulses — a  state  of  nature — and  made  to 
respect  social  forms,  the  rights  and  duties  of  persons  and  property. 
Education  is  to  prepare  the  individual  for  life  in  social  institutions. 
Crime  and  ignorance  and  non-productiveness  are  antagonistic  to 
society.  .  .  .  The  first  necessity  of  civilization  is  a  system  of 
universal  education. "—Dr.  J.  L.  M.  Curry. 

"The  strength  of  every  community  is  dependent  upon  the  average 
of  the  intelligence  of  that  community,  and  this  intelligence  is  depend- 
ent upon  the  education  of  the  entire  mass  and  not  of  the  few." — 
Charles  B.  AycocTc. 

"To  close  the  door  of  hope  against  any  child  within  the  borders  of 
the  State,  whatever  be  his  race  or  condition,  by  deliberately  removing 
him  from  the  possibility  of  securing  such  training  as  will  fit  him  for 
the  life  he  has  to  live,  is  un-Christian,  un-democratic  and  un-Ameri- 
can."— Gov.  'N.  C.  Blanchard.

such  examinations  and  their  result  must  be  approved  by  the  super- 
intendent. 

4.  No  pupil  will  be  advanced  to  a  higher  class  except  upon  the

PRIMARY  SCHOOL  COURSE. 

It  is  sometimes  necessary,  on  account  of  the  poor  preparation  of 
those  who  apply  for  entrance  to  the  classes  of  the  normal  schools,  to 
have  a  good  primary  school  in  connection  with  each  normal.  It  is 
also  necessary  to  have  such  a  school  in  which  candidates  for  gradua- 
tion from  the  normal  schools  can  be  required  to  teach  successfully 
prior  to  graduation.  This  course  consists  of  the  first  four  years  of 
outline  course  of  study  for  the  public  schools.

DEPARTMENTS  OF  INSTRUCTION. 


NORMAL    DEPARTMENT. 

This  department  of  the  institution  is  organized  under  the  auspices 
of  the  State  of  North  Carolina,  and  is  designed  to  prepare  teachers 
for  the  rural  public  schools  of  the  State.  The  course  covers  four 
years,  of  instruction  and  practice  work  under  the  critical  eye  and 
training  of  experienced  teachers. 

Three  things  especially  are  undertaken  in  this  department :  ( 1 ) 
Grounding  the  students  in  the  common  school  branches  with  special 
reference  to  teaching  these  subjects;  (2)  Acquainting  them  with  the 
most  approved  facts  of  the  history  and  science  and  art  of  education ; 
(3)  Illustrating  in  the  model  school  for  the  benefit  of  the  young 
teacher  the  facts  thus  learned. 

Our  constant  effort  is  to  give  the  students  such  a  well-rounded 
culture  of  head,  hand  and  heart  as  always  stands  the  industrious 
and  conscientious  teacher  in  good  stead  in  assuming  and  directing 
the  weighty  responsibilities  of  his  great  calling. 

It  is  the  purpose  of  the  management  to  make  this  department  of 
the  institution  more  and  more  professional,  bringing  it  up  as  rapidly 
as  possible  to  the  standard  of  the  foremost  normal  schools  of  the 
country. 

It  is  proposed,  under  the  direction  of  the  State  Superintendent  of 
Public  Instruction,  to  give  to  the  State  a  real  normal  school — such 
as  will  at  least  command  the  respect  of  the  friends  of  this  cause  at 
home  and  abroad. 

INDUSTRIAL    DEPARTMENT. 

This  department  of  the  institution  is  intended  to  give  training  in 
the  industrial  arts,  including  sewing,  cooking,  laundry  work,  domestic 
economy,  etc.,  for  girls ;  and  carpentering,  iron-working,  agriculture, 
etc.,  for  boys. 

The  institution  owns  horses,  cattle,  hogs,  wagons  and  spring 
vehicles,  and  an  outfit  of  farming  utensils.  Great  stress  has  been 
laid  upon  truck-gardening  and  farming  in  this  way,  giving  the  stu- 
dents some  practical  agriculture,  besides  furnishing  vegetables  for 
the  boarding  department,  and  also  supplying  the  growing  population 
of  our  school  community. 

Industrial  education  in  our  school  is  not  intended  to  supersede  or 
overshadow  the  work  in  the  literary  department,  but  to  be  a  coordi- 
nate branch  of  education — our  purpose  being  to  train  heart,  head 
and    hand.      We    propose,    in    the    words    of    Whittier,    "Hearts    of 

(20) 


21 

Health,"  together  with  "the  cunning  hand  and  cultured  brain."  We 
propose  that  our  students  shall  have  the  largest  possible  productive 
capacity. 

The  ability  to  do  in  the  very  best  way  that  which  must  be  done 
with  the  hand  represents  a  master  power  in  the  world's  civilization. 

Industrial  departments  in  schools  for  Negroes  are  the  most  means 
adequate  of  giving  them  power. 

DEPARTMENT  OF   MUSIC. 

A  chapel  choir  has  been  formed  among  the  best  singers  for  the 
purpose  of  studying  choral  music  and  rendering  cantatas  and  operet- 
tas from  time  to  time  as  well  as  leading  in  the  chapel  services. 
Excellent  work  has  been  done  by  this  choir. 

The  brass  band  and  orchestra  are  composed  of  students  who  show 
satisfactory  progress  in  their  vocal  studies,  aided  by  some  of  the 
teachers. 


GENERAL  INFORMATION. 


THE    FIELD. 

The  field  for  the  work  of  the  school  is  a  broad  one,  in  view 
of  the  fact  that  the  means  for  educating  the  colored  people  of 
the  mountain  section  of  North  Carolina  are  inadequate,  and  of  the 
fact  also  that  there  is  an  extensive  territory  in  northwestern  North 
Carolina  and  southwestern  Virginia,  almost  wholly  unprovided  for 
in  respect  to  higher,  and  especially  industrial,  education  for  colored 
youth.  And  yet  there  is  a  continuous  movement  of  colored  people 
toward  these  sections. 

PRESENT   EQUIPMENT. 

The  institution,  with  its  present  halls,  offers  first-class  accommoda- 
tions for  a  large  number  of  boarding  pupils ;  the  boys  and  girls  hav- 
ing separate  dormitories. 

Special  attention  is  called  to  the  efficiency  of  the  faculty ;  and  to 
the  excellent  appointments  of  the  school-rooms. 

This  school  is  not  compelled  to  consult  in  the  selection  of  its 
teachers  any  considerations  save  qualifications  and  competency ;  hence, 
it  is  always  in  position  to  offer  the  very  best  instruction. 

We  intend  the  next  session  to  make  the  library  a  positive  factor 
in  the  work  of  the  school.  The  reading-room  is  supplied  with  some 
of  the  daily  and  weekly  newspapers,  and  through  the  aid  of  kind 
friends  some  of  the  leading  magazines  may  be  found  regularly  upon 
our  tables. 

LITERARY    SOCIETIES. 

For  training  in  composition,  declamation,  debate,  and  parliamen- 
tary practice  there  are  in  the  instituton  two  literary  societies — the 
"Eureka  Literary  Society"  for  the  boys,  and  the  "Garrett  Literary 
Society"  for  the  girls.  These  societies  have  at  their  bi-weekly  meet- 
ings afforded  the  students  an  excellent  opportunity  for  development 
in  the  correct  and  effective  use  of  the  English  language,  and  have 
also  been  an  efficient  means  of  entertaining  and  instructing  the 
people  of  the  community.  The  students  are  given  in  these  meetings 
also  an  opportunity  to  put  into  practise  their  knowledge  of  music, 
being  tested  and  trained  at  the  same  time  in  the  art  of  vocal  delivery. 

RELIGIOUS   SOCIETIES. 

There  are  among  the  students  three  religious  societies — the  Young 
Men's  Christian  Association,  the  Woman's  Christian  Temperance 
Union,    and   the   Christian   Endeavor    Society    for   all   the   students. 

(22) 


23 

These  societies  have  exerted  a  decidedly  wholesome  influence  upon 
the  students,  and  have  contributed  much  toward  good  order  and 
discipline  in  the  school.  All  of  these  societies  are  managed  for  the 
most  part  by  the  students  themselves,  and  are  a  source  of  real  ethical 
strength. 

SPECIAL  NEEDS. 

The  inost  urgent  need  at  present  is  the  completion  of  the  building 
fund  of  $10,000  with  which  the  hall  for  general  school  purposes  was 
built,  and  this  special  appeal  to  complete  this  fund  is  made  to  the 
friends  of  humanity  and  negro  education  that  the  small  debt  on  the 
new  building  may  be  paid. 

a  girl's   dormitory. 

A  dormitory  for  girls  is  greatly  needed.  We  will  be  compelled  to 
reject  applicants  on  account  of  lack  of  room,  and  it  will  be  painful 
not  to  be  able  to  admit  girls  who  want  to  fit  themselves  both  as 
teachers  and  home-makers.  Shortly  after  school  opened  we  were 
forced  to  hire  rooms  wherever  possible  to  house  our  students  who 
could  not  find  room  in  the  dormitories. 

A    LARGE    INDUSTRIAL    HALL 

It  greatly  needed  to  facilitate  the  work  in  the  industrial  depart- 
ment. The  interest  of  the  boys  and  girls  in  the  industries  of  the 
institution  is  noteworthy ;  but  the  room  and  equipment  necessary  to 
the  most  efficient  instruction  it  has  been  impossible  thus  far  to  pro- 
vide. We  will  hope  that  kind  friends  will  help  us  in  making  provis- 
ions for  efficient  work  in  this  department. 

BOOKS    FOR    THE    LIBRARY. 

It  will  be  our  effort  to  stimulate  in  the  pupils  a  love  for  good 
books  and  good  literature  of  all  descriptions,  believing  that  this  is 
an  indispenable  means  to  the  development  of  all  that  is  best  in  us 
of  moral  and  intellectual  endowment. 

CHEMICAL    AND    PHYSICAL    APPARATUS. 

Our  friends  would  greatly  aid  the  work  we  propose  to  do  by  help- 
ing us  to  secure  some  chemical  and  physical  apparatus,  that  the 
work  of  instruction  in  elementary  chemistry  and  physics  may  be 
made  permanently  effective. 

A    FARM. 

We  need  more  farming  land.  A  fine  farm  adjacent  to  our  present 
property  can  be  purchased  at  a  reasonable  price,  and  we  beg  the 
aid  of  friends  in  securing  the  same.  It  is  the  purpose  of  the  institu- 
tion to  make  training  in  practical  and  scientific  agriculture  a  princi- 
pal feature  of  our  work. 


24 

students'  aid  fund. 

Philanthropic  friends  would  be  surprised  to  know  the  circumstances 
and  history  of  hundreds  of  young  colored  men  and  women  in  the 
South  who  are  struggling  to  get  an  education.  Some  of  the  most 
promising  and  deserving  ones  are  absolutely  unable  to  prosecute 
their  education  at  all,  except  as  they  are  aided.  . 

We  do  not  ask  friends  to  pay  the  entire  expenses  of  any  person 
through  school.  We  ask  only  that  they  will  contribute  to  the  above 
fund,  from  which  we  may  be  able  to  aid  needy  students  according  to 
the  emergency  and  merits  of  the  case.  Where  persons  desire  to  give 
a  full  support,  $60  will  cover  the  entire  expense  for  the  session. 

LOCATION    AND  ACCESSIBILITY. 

The  twin  cities  of  Winston-Salem  constitute  the  largest  and  most 
progressive  community  in  northwestern  North  Carolina.  These  towns 
are  situated  at  the  foot  of  the  outlying  spurs  of  the  Blue  Ridge 
Mountains  and  are  high  and  healthy,  the  atmosphere  being  espe- 
cially pure  and  invigorating. 

Winston-Salem  has  become  quite  a  railroad  center  and  is  easily 
accessible  from  all  parts  of  the  country.  The  railroad  link  between 
Mocksville  and  Mooresville  being  completed,  the  institution  is  now 
easily  accessible  also  to  all  persons  on  the  Western  North  Carolina 
Railroad  and  also  to  all  persons  between  Charlotte  and  Taylors- 
ville,  N.  C. 

COLUMBIAN    HEIGHTS. 

The  suburban  settlement  in  which  the  school  is  immediately 
located  is  a  new  and  growing  colored  community,  especially  intended 
to  promote  the  ends  of  the  institution.  The  settlers  all  have  com- 
fortable and  well-arranged  homes,  which  afford  not  only  the  means 
of  enlarged  accommodations  for  the  school,  but  also  a  wholesome 
object-lesson  to  the  students,  giving  them  an  idea  of  the  home-life 
that  should  characterize  growing  intelligence,  in  lieu  of  the  one- 
room  log  cabin. 

Columbian  Heights  will  be  to  the  students  of  the  institution  a 
tangible  evidence  of  the  new  day  of  freedom  and  opportunity.

DISCIPLINE. 

Attention  is  called  to  the  following  special  local  regulations,  and 
persons  who  think  they  cannot  observe  them  are  warned  against 
coming  to  us : 

1.  Students  on  the  institution  roll,  who  live  at  their  homes  or 
with  their  friends,  and  those  who  by  special  permission  of  the 
faculty  are  allowed  to  board  in  families,  are  expected  to  observe, 
in  general,  the  same  regulations  respecting  conduct,  deportment,  and 
habits  of  study  as  those  living  in  the  school  buildings. 

2.  Students  absenting  themselves  from  their  classes,  or  from  the 
school  grounds  without  permission  render  themselves  liable  to  dis- 
cipline. 

3.  All  students  are  subject  to  the  discipline  of  the  institution  for 
immoral  or  unworthy  conduct  during  absence  from  the  institution. 

4.  The  use  of  intoxicants  and  tobacco  in  any  form,  also  profanity 
and  card-playing  and  having  fire-arms,  are  forbidden  in  the  case  of 
all  students,  both  during  term  time  and  vacation.  Infraction  of  this 
regulation  will  subject  the  offender  to  the  discipline  of  the  insti- 
tution. 

5.  Students  must  comply  with  all  regulations  for  the  promotion 
of  health,  cleanliness,  good  order,  and  successful  school-room  work. 

6.  The  correspondence  of  the  students  will  be  regulated  by  the 
faculty  as  far  as  it  may  become  necessary.  Too  many  letters  written 
or  received  by  the  students  are  prejudicial  to  the  best  work. 

7.  Rooms  are  subject  to  inspection  at  any  time  during  the  day 
after  the  ringing  of  the  notice  bell  for  breakfast. 

8.  A  student's  protracted  failure  to  provide  himself  with  the  books 
required  will  be  an  occasion  for  rigid  investigation. 

9.  Every  student,  by  entering  the  institution,  is  regarded  as  giving 
a  sacred  promise  to  observe  these  and  all  other  established  regula- 
tions.

HOW  TO   SEND   MONEY. 

All  money  intended  as  a  donation  for  the  institution  should  be 
sent  to  W.  A.  Blair,  Esq.  (Vice-President  People's  National  Bank), 
Winston-Salem,  N.  C. 

All  money  intended  for  board  and  other  regular  expenses  of 
students  should  be  sent  to  Prof.  John  W.  Woody,  Business  Agent, 
Slater  School,  Winston- Salem,  N.  C. 

We  wish  to  call  special  attention  of  parents  to  the  fact  that 
money,  in  all  cases,  when  intended  to  pay  their  children's  expenses 
in  school  should  be  sent  to  the  Business  Agent  and  not  to  the  pupils. 
It  is  not  necessary  to  send  expensive  boxes  of  food  to  pupils,  and 
it  is  better  to  confine  any  remembrances  to  certain  holidays,  like 
Christmas,  if  sent  at  all.

STATE  COLORED  NORMAL  SCHOOL 


FAYETTEVILLE. 

HISTORY. 

This  institution  was  established  by  the  State  Board  of  Education, 
under  an  act  of  the  General  Assembly  of  1876-'7T,  for  the  training  of 
teachers  for  the  colored  public  schools  of  the  State.  It  has  com- 
pleted thirty  school  years  of  from  eight  to  ten  months  each,  in  which 
1,676  different  pupils,  from  73  counties  of  the  State,  have  been  en- 
rolled. Three  hundred  and  twenty-eight  (328)  have  completed  the 
prescribed  course  of  study.  Of  this  number  only  a  few  have  failed 
to  engage  in  teaching.  A  large  number  of  the  undergraduates  also 
engage  in  teaching. 

LOCATION. 

Twenty-six  acres  of  land,  in  the  immediate  southern  suburbs  of 
the  city,  have  been  purchased  and  deeded  to  the  State  for  the  school. 
New  buildings  for  the  school  and  dormitories  will  be  completed,  if 
possible,  before  the  opening  of  the  school. 

BOARD. 

Board  can  be  ohtained  in  the  dormitories  or  in  private  families 
at  very  reasonable  rates. 

NATURE   AND    DESIGN. 

A  normal  school  is  neither  a  college,  a  law,  nor  a  theological  school, 
but  a  school  for  the  thorough  instruction  and  systematic  training  of 
students  toho  wish  to  oecome  teachers;  hence  the  design  of  this 
school  is — ■ 

I.  Thorough  instruction  in  all  the  branches  required  to  be  taught 
in  the  public  schools  of  the  State ; 

II.  The  best  methods  of  teaching  these  branches  and  governing  the 
schools,  and 

III.  The  cultivation  of  the  habit  of  thinking  clearly  and  system- 
atically, and  the  practice  of  delivering  the  thoughts  and  explanations 
in  a  lucid  and  pleasant  manner.  To  accomplish  this  our  course  of 
study,  practice  in  teaching,  library,  and  rhetorical  exercises  are  ad- 
mirably adapted. 

QUALIFICATIONS    OF    A    GOOD    TEACHER. 

1.  Good  health,  good  common  sense,  and  sound  judgment. 

2.  A  thorough  knowledge  of  the  branches  he  proposes  to  teach. 

(35) 


36 

3.  Aptness  to  teach.  He  may  be  rich  in  knowledge,  but  it  will  be 
of  little  value  to  his  pupils  unless  he  has  the  skill  of  communicat- 
ing it. 

4.  Perfect  self-control.  He  cannot  govern  others  when  unable  to 
govern  himself. 

5.  Love  for  his  calling.  Any  work  is  easily  done  when  prompted 
by  love.    Whatever  one  does  willingly  is  no  trouble. 

EXAMINATIONS. 

Oral  and  written  examinations  of  all  the  students  will  be  held  dur- 
ing the  first  week  of  each  term,  and  public  examination  and  exhibi- 
tion annually,  at  the  close  of  the  session. 

LIBEARY,    APPARATUS,   ETC. 

The  school  has  a  small  but  well-selected  library,  including  the 
Encyclopedia  Britanica,  and  is  supplied  with  the  necessary  maps 
and  globes,  musical,  historical,  and  writing  charts,  and,  in  addition 
to  these,  a  set  of  apparatus  for  the  illustration  of  physics  or  natural 
philosophy. 

SOCIETIES. 

The  Normal  Literary  Society,  which  meets  Friday  evening  of  each 
week,  and  the  Normal  Band  of  Hope  (Temp.),  which  meets  monthly, 
are  societies  formed  among  the  students  and  subject  to  their  own 
control,  under  the  supervision  of  the  teachers.  They  are  excellent 
means  for  drill  in  parliamentary  usage  and  business  habits. 

NON-SECTARIAN. 

The  school  is  not  conducted  in  the  interest  of  any  religious  denomi- 
nation or  any  political  party.  The  teachers  belong  to  different 
churches,  and  students,  while  expected  to  attend  some  church,  are 
allowed  to  make  their  own  choice.  All  the  leading  denominations 
are  represented  by  churches  in  town. 

APPLICATIONS   FOR  TEACHERS. 

There  are  usually  connected  with  the  school,  or  in  correspondence 
with  the  faculty,  persons  well  qualified  to  teach,  and  willing  to  ac- 
cept suitable  positions  when  offered.  All  letters  in  reference  to 
teachers,  etc.,  will  be  promptly  answered,  and,  if  applications  are 
definite  enough,  teachers  can  generally  be  supplied. 

Applications  should  state : 

1.  Male    or   female   teacher   required. 

2.  Grade  of  certificate  required. 

3.  Beginning  and  length  of  term. 

4.  Salary  and  price  of  board. 


37 

The  work  under  this  head  is  all  done  as  a  matter  of  courtesy,  and 
although  no  charge  is  made  to  either  committee  or  teachers,  no  effort 
will  be  spared  to  send  the  right  teacher  to  the  right  place. 

ADVICE  TO  THOSE  WHO  WISH   TO  ENTER  THE  SCHOOL. 

1.  Carefully  examine  the  course  of*  study,  and  decide  how  much  of 
it  you  have  thoroughly  accomplished,  recognizing  always  the  differ- 
ence between  the  knowledge  required  by  a  teacher  and  by  one  who  is 
merely  expecting  to  become  a  general  scholar. 

2.  Do  not  be  too  anxious  to  enter  advanced  classes.  There  will  be 
little  or  no  time  in  any  class  to  make  up  back  studies.  Many  who  are 
admitted  to  the  advanced  classes  fail  to  do  the  work  well,  from 
lack  of  elementary  training,  and  regret  not  having  begun  to  work 
here  in  lower  grades. 

3.  Bring  with  you,  as  useful  for  study  or  reference,  all  the  text- 
books you  have. 

4.  Come  expecting  to  work  faithfully  and  honestly — to  make  study 
your  first  and  only  aim  while  here.  If  you  cannot  come  with  this 
spirit,  or  if  you  lack  the  determination  to  carry  you  through  in  this 
spirit,  you  make  a  mistake  in  entering  a  normal  school. 

DISCIPLINE. 

In  a  normal  school  there  should  be  no  need  of  reference  to  the 
matter  of  discipline.  Only  those  should  come,  or  be  admitted,  who 
have  well-formed,  correct  habits. 

This  is,  in  no  sense,  a  reform  school,  and  young  men  or  women 
who  are  not  disposed  to  submit  willingly  and  cheerfully  to  all  the 
wholesome  restraints  found  necessary  for  the  good  working  and 
good  reputation  of  the  school  will  be  unhesitatingly  dismissed. 

We  are,  in  a  measure,  responsible  to  the  State  for  the  character 
and  equipment  of  each  pupil  graduated  from  the  school.  Th;s 
being  the  case,  we  are  compelled  to  exercise  the  most  rigid  scrutiny 
in  reference  to  both  these ;  and  offenses  that  in  a  mere  academic 
institution  might  be  passed  over  lightly,  here  are  viewed  rather 
as  indicating  the  unfitness  of  the  offender  for  taking  charge  of  and 
training  the  children  of  the  State.  In  this  way  it  sometimes 
happens  that  pupils  are  advised  to  withdraw  from  the  school,  or 
are  even  dismissed,  when  no  very  serious  charges  are  brought 
against  them.  They  have  merely  convinced  us  that  they  .are  not 
suitable  persons  to  enter  the  profession  of  teaching.  No  publicity 
is  given  to  such  cases.  Nor  is  our  action  ever  taken  with  a  view 
of  punishing  the  offenders. 

Our  aim  has  constantly  been  to  appeal  to  the  nobler  natures  of 
our  students  in  order  to  secure  compliance  with  the  regulations  of 
the  school.  Our  rules  prohibit  what  is  ungentlemanly  or  unladylike 
and  disorderly,  and  require  only  what  is  necessary  to  provide  for 
the  mental,  moral,  and  physical  welfare  of  all.

NEW    QUARTERS    AND    EQUIPMENTS.  . 

Work  is  in  progress.  The  Superintendent  and  Board  of  managers 
of  the  School  are  doing  everything  possible  to  have  in  readiness 
new  quarters  for  the  School,  at  the  beginning  of  the  session,  Septem- 
ber 16,  1907.  The  new  home  for  the  School  will  include  a  main 
building  containing  well-arranged  recitation-rooms  for  the  different 
grades  and  classes  and  an  assembly  hall.  There  will  be  provided, 
also,  buildings  or  rooms,  necessary  and  suitable,  in  which  to  give 
instruction,  in  domestic  science,  including  cooking  and  sewing,  for 
females.  Gardening  and  some  practicable  work  in  farming  will 
be  taught  male  students. 

EXPENSES. 

Board  per  month    (payable  in  advance), $6.00 

Washing 75 

Fuel 75 

Students  must  bring  their  own  quilts,  blankets,  sheets,  pillow-

resulting  from  carelessness  or  violence.  * 

OTHER   INFORMATION. 

Information  not  contained  in  this  catalogue  will  be  cheerfully 
furnished  by  the  Principal,  E.  E.  Smith,  Fayetteville,  N.  C. 

GENERAL  REMARKS. 

The  enrollment  of  the  session  has  been  larger  than  that  of  the 
previous  session.  The  School  enjoys  the  moral  support  of  all  classes 
of  the  people  in  the  city,  community,  and  section.  This  in  itself 
is  an  invaluable  stimulus  to  the  teachers  and  students  in  the  prosecu- 
tion of  the  work  undertaken. 

WThile  the  School  has  been,  throughout  the  session,  largely  attended, 
numbers  have,  by  no  means,  been  the  object  sought  or  the  end  in 
view.  The  one  aim  of  the  teachers,  from  beginning  to  finish,  has 
been  thoroughness,  thoroughness.  Carefully  conducted  reviews  have 
received  special  prominence,  from  time  to  time,  throughout  the 
session.  In  carrying  out  this  idea  of  thoroughness,  interest  in 
study  has  awakened,  per  cent,  of  attendance  has  been  increased, 
and  tardiness  reduced  to  a  minimum. 

This  new  awakening,  this  increased  interest  and  efficiency  gen- 
erally in  the  work  of  the  School  is  largely,  if  not  altogether,  due 
to  the  wise  and  helpful  supervision  of  the  superintendent  of  the 
State  Colored  Normal  Schools. 


39 

The  School  is  open  to  inspection  at  all  times,  and  teachers  and 
friends  of  education  are  cordially  invited  to  visit  the  School  at 
their  convenience. 

We  hope  to  he  ahle  to  have  our  new  school  building  in  readiness 
for  occupancy  at  the  beginning  of  the  fall  term  of  the  present  year. 
For  further  information  address  the  Principal, 

E.  E.  SMITH,
